How to use special characters in Report Builder

Hi everyone,
I wonder if you guys can help me. I'm trying to change our Invoice hearders from English to Portuguese. Eg, I've changed this English heading
("FOR ACCOUNT QUERIES CONTACT") to this Portuguese heading ("PARA CONSULTAS DE CONTA CONTACTE"). So when I'm done, my entire invoice will be in Portuguese. This works fine, until I get special characters in some of the Portuguese translations. I can copy and paste the translations with special characters into Report Builder. But when I print the invoice in Oracle Apps (with a PDF output), the special characters get replaced with a "?".
Here's an example:
< "Line No" should read "Linha nº" but it prints out as "Linha n?" > Does anybother know how I can resolve this? I'm using Report Builder: 10.1.2.3.0 on Oracle Apps: 11.5.10.2 and RDBMS : 10.2.0.4.0
Thank you in advance

Hi,
You need to have Portuguese font installed on your machine, if you are running the report from your machine or else if you are running the same from report server then the font has to be there on the server font dir.

How to Use Temporary table on report builder

Hi community!
Well, i'm trying to build a temporary table based report in Oracle Report Builder. in "After Parameter Form Trigger" I've placed a stored procedure that populate a temporary table and I've based my report on it. The problem is Report shows no data. When i execute this procedure directly on database and i perform a select on my temporary table, it show all inserted data.
I hope somebody can to help me because I tried many ways to build this report with my temporary table and always looks blank.

Temporary tables are session specific.
If particular session is closed then no data will be found on your temporary table in an another session.
My suggestion is, on "After parameter form" trigger you directly populate the GTT without using procedure.
Hope this will help.

How to use Special Characters in CONCAT function or another form with Xquer

Hello everyone
I'm using PS3 OEPE within message flow (proxy)and I'm using Xquery.
I'm using the CONCAT function, but this does not allow me to concatenate special characters not allowed, for example:
I want to concatenate these strings:
String1 = “&lt;get-person&gt;&lt;id-person&;gt;”
String2 = “123”
String3 = “&lt;/id-person&;gt; &lt;/get-person&gt;”
I want to represent characters regex. It means no XML characters
Someone knows some way, any function that allows me to concatenate in OSB these values with Xquery?
Edited by: chromosoma on Sep 5, 2012 5:59 PM

Hi,
It seems to me you're doing things in the most complicated way possible...
Firstly, you should use codepoints-to-string not the reverse... Secondly, the function work with decimals, not hexa
http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/fn_codepoints-to-string.html
http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/fn_string-to-codepoints.html
This works...
concat(codepoints-to-string(38),'lt',codepoints-to-string(59),'get-person')But this also works... Note that I've inserted a space between the & and the lt so the forum formatting can show it...
let
$String1 := "& lt;get-person& gt;& lt;id-person& gt;",
$String2 := "123",
$String3 := "& lt;/id-person& gt;& lt;/get-person& gt;"
return
concat($String1,$String2,$String3)And, finally this also works... So what's the reason for escaping < and > with &lt and &gt; and why codepoints?
let
$String1 := "<get-person><id-person>",
$String2 := "123",
$String3 := "</id-person></get-person>"
return
concat($String1,$String2,$String3)Cheers,
Vlad

How to use special characters in regular expression

HI all, I am new to regular expression.
Can any one please tell me the regular expression for characters which are used in regular expression like " [({. tetc.Is there any particular expression to prefix before using these characters

Expression:
< td .*? bgcolor = \" ( [^ \" ] +) \" \\s* .*? > ( .+? ) </td>
It will search for expression starting with <td ,
.*? means any characters zero or more than one,
then it will find bgcolor = , then literal \"... \(any char) is that specific char
[ ^ \" ] any character but not literal \",this means there has to be something between ".... " if empty then wont match ,+ is 1 or more times
Then again literal \ " , after that \\s* means zero or more num of spaces,
then again , .*? means any characters zero or more than one,
it will search for literal > , again any chars . * ?
Finally </td> will be searched.....!!
So all expressions having this particular structure will be
matched.
Output :
<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="ffffff" width="177">bla bla bla</td>

Special Characters in Report Name or Report Description(URGENT)

Hi All,
I am using Hyperion Financial Reporting System 9 tool. Could anyone tell me what problem we face if we use special characters in report name and report description?
Waiting for quick response.
Regards,
SN

when using "&" in report and folder titles we had issues with report books not being able to run and also the report name would be incorrectly described.
try to avoid if possible, there is a lower risk if using on an all windows enviroment (clients and servers) but if you have *nix OS it does introduce complexity.

How to write special characters in PDF using iText

How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
Regards,
Pandharinath.

I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

Showing Japanese characters from Report Builder

Hi , We've some problem showing the Japanese characters using Oracle Report builder 6i (6.0.8.17.0).
Our database version is Oracle9i-9.0.1.4.0 and
we'r using the DB character set as US7ASCII and National charecter set as UTF8 (Tried with AL16UTF16 but it's supported as per Oracle-metalink). We'r using Solaris 9 (OS 5.9) to invoke the Report Builder.
Japanese characters are able to insert and select from SQL prompt using Japanese Terminal..
But from the Report builder when we run the Report, we'r seeing some junk characters. Please help if anybody has worked on showing the Japanese characters from Report builder.
Thanks

How to save Special Characters in oracle?

Is there any way to enter special characters such as ºC ? i am using J2EE and Oracle 9 i.
When i try to enter 2ºC after updating the datbase it is converted to 2ÂºC when it is displayed in HTML. All special characters are prefixed with Â. Pls suggest any way to use special characters with oracle ..

This has nothing do to with NLS_LANGUAGE. In general, character set processing depends on NLS_LANG setting (which is an OS setting and not a instance initialization parameter) and database character set. To understand NLS_LANG see OTN NLS_LANG FAQ http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm.
However, I think that JDBC is an exception and does not use the character set defined by NLS_LANG. See last answer in following discussion:
Re: When is NLS_LANG used ?
